[q] pls help!!!! Bricked phone

I used a HTC desire s... HTCdev bootloader unlocked s-on and rooted ...
This morning, was checking google play when i found a FONT INSTALLER app. i decided to try it. After installation, i opened it to use a font on their server, i backed up the stock font. after applying the font, my phone freezed up so i decided to restart maybe dat would fix it.
I rebooted and my fone got stucked at the "HTC quietly brilliant" bootscreen... i tried doing factory reset. I loaded bootloader then selected factory reset. i was directed to 4ext. I didnt get the reset cos it keeps stucking up at the same screen. So i decided to wipe.. I selected the "WIPE ALL PARTITION XCEPT SD CARD" :'(
...
Now my Phone doesnt boot up. After the first "HTC (without the quietly brilliant)" shows up... the screen goes dark till....
....
Pls i need help on how to put my phone back on.
GURUs in the house PLEASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Funny problem you have
What it shall boot? You have wiped everything from it, so there are no files.
I guees you have not make a Nandroid backup, so copy some ROM to your SDcard and flash it from 4EXT.
DO NOT forget to flash the boot.img afterwards

Tanks for your reply..
But pls can u make it clearer. I don have any backup... The only backup i have are my apps, non for the system files.
I can also get the RUU ICS ROM i downloaded from HTCdev. Can i do something with this? Thanks,

If you was on ICS go here and skip right to B) section.
If you was on GB go here and pick the version you was before. As if you was on Sense 2.1 you would flash RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_signed_prerooted. If you was on Sense 3.0 then your pick will be HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_deodexed_prerooted
Or just flash a custom ROM, there is plenty of choise. I would recommend Desire XS

May Almighty ALLAH replenish your knowlegde (Cos i can see u"re a muslim from your username)
Pls would the flashing be from 4ext or my pc using cmd? I have this pacman rom i downloaded sometimes ago, i tried "install from zip" as 4ext states it.. Its still not booting!

Well Allah has nothing to do with my nickname, but thank you anyway since I believe all religions worship the same God.
And it is not booting because you have missed an important step:

Copy the ROM from your Sdcard to the PC. Open it and extract the boot.img that you will find inside. Then flash it with a command from your PC (you can search the forum how exactly).
And if still does not boot then you will be one of the lucky guys with the Hitachi panel so you will have to try a Sense ROM. Download, flash through the recovery, flash the boot.img as described above

Congratulations
I am using it for some time now I had no bugs, reboots. You can read the feedback of the users in the ROM's thread and then decide.
Just remember: when you are S-ON you have to flash the boot.img separately from fastboot for ANY new ROM that you are installing!

It would not because you have to lock the bootloader first. Better go back to post #4 and read the first line again. It will save you the trouble to unlock and flash a recovery again.

Hi,
You have access to bootloader,so,you are not bricked.
If you are unlocked and have access to bootloader,then, look HERE
Install the 4 EXT recovery,use the "Format all partitions except sd card" option in recovery.
Root the phone.
Then, use the "Smartflash" option to install a fresh ROM of your choice.

Thank You

Your device is now stuck at the bootscreen .. Can you tell us in a detailed way as what you did with your phone ?
Did you try to root the device or flash any custom rom without unlocking the boot loader or installing twrp or cwm recovery ?

thanks for answering

Okay don't worry we are here to help you..
Just follow this thread to flash a new rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034264
If you still can't understand the method in the above mentioned thread just use a toolkit..
Download the Nexus Toolkit by Wugfresh and follow the instruction to flash factory image of Nexus ..
You can root,flash factory images,unlock and relock bootloader with this tool..
If you haven't installed the adb and fastboot drivers there is a option for installing driver in that tool kit ..
Here is the link for the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984858
Need any help in using this toolkit just reply back via this thread :good:

Updating Question

It says here that I cannot update if I rooted my phone,
Is there any way that I can update my phone with this new update, and not having any issues at all.
Kindly see attached file, I freaked out when I read this.
Sorry to trouble you guys, I'm just a newbie with this kind of rooting thing, seeking out help. Thanks

Up.. Please I need your help, I just want to know if it is safe or not. Or if there's any workaround with this one.
Thanks

If you have a root, do not try to update on usual way - can damage your phone!

Still no flash & root solutions for HTC 20 Pro ???

Is there still no flash & root solution for this phone?
I found no possibility to activate flashing, even for flashing magisk.zip.
I can't believe it!
Please,
can someone please find out, I can't imagine that there is no way...
